THURSDAY, .IAN. 10, 1884.
HOW ONE WOMAN MADE A FORTUNE.
The Now York con espondent of
the Cleveland Leader relates the fol
lowing incident: Asa friend and I
were Bmmtcring in Broadway, a
beautiful woman of thirty-live ciisnc
outof nstoio. She was 'tall, lithe,
graceful, with the face and bearing
of an ideal duchess. Her costume
was of the richest and the least
showy materials. Her whole aspect
proved her possession of rcilned
taste. - She got iiuo a carriage, in
,which sat two children and J heir
nurse a coarse-featured woman of
middle age, wearing the prescribed
cap and apron of her employment.
"Take a good look at' that es
tablishment." said my companion.
"I want to tell you about it."
The equipage' rolled nwnv. and 1
listened to an exposition.' "The
younger lady," said she "came to
this countrv about twelvn vojii-s mm!
she was poor and friendless. She
got employment at housework, and
then, when somewhat acquainted
with our language, was made a
nurse-maid. But she did not remain
a servant long. She soon made up
her mind that she could get a living
at making the kind of infants' clothes
that her duties familiarized her
with. She began by getting work
in a shop, but in a year bad a flour
ishing business of her own. She
married a usn for love alone, but
lie also proveu a good business part
ner, too. Together they built up a
big trade, and are now very wealthy.
It was her own carriage that you saw
her in. The strange fact about
the establishment, however, is that
the nurse you saw was the mistiess's
first employer. Never educated nor
bright, impoverishment has reduced
her to the cap and apron tha.. her
present mistress used to wear. Is
the latter a shoddyite? Not a bit of
it. She is a lady in every way.
Moreover she is a beauty who hasn't
achieved fortune by selling her good
looks." .
A SAD CASE OF INSANITY.
The Philadelphia Call tells this:
"Papa," she said, as the old man
sank into an easy chair after a hard
day's work at his office, "I noticed
in the evening paper that sealskin
u sacques are advancing in price,"
"So they are, my dear; so they
are."
"And you know you promised to
buy me one this winter."
"I finow I did," he replied, "and
I will keep my word. But with the
,u,"" pnuw mm w scarcity 01
money I expect it will cramp me
somewhat."
"I was thinking," his daughter
then said, as she clasped a pair of
soft white arms about his neck, "if
it would nor. be better to wait until
next winter. My old cloak will do
very well, and perhaps sealskin sac
ques will be cheaper then."
The old man groaned in anguish
of spirit and murmured to himself,
"My worst fears are realized."
In the morning the young woman
was tenderly taken to an insane
asylum, where it is believed that
with proper care she may ultimately
recover her reason.
TRIALS OF A COUNTRY EDITOR.
Gentle reader, did you ever put in
a month's time in a printing office,
to say nothing about years, worry
ing as to what you can write up for
the paper, lose rest, patience and
flesh in an endeavor to keep bills
paid up and want from the door, and
have 8500 or S600 owing to you by
subscribers, any one of whom would
dun you daily if you were owing
them, but who never think of calling
and settling with you because you
are running a local paper? If you
never tried it come up aud we will
let you run the shop a few months
while we take a rest, and then if you
don't say that the hardest work yon
or any other man over did was to
run a local paper where tho people
never think of calling and paying,
wc will make you a present of $20
cash, provided we ever succeed in
in collecting that amount. Iowa

THE SEA SERPENT, ONCE MORE.
Washington, December 7. Cap
tain W. L. Green, keeper of tho life
saving station at Long Branch, N. J.,
reports to the general superintendent
of tho son ice, under date of Nov
ember 24, that five of his crew, who
weic fishing in the ocean a few days
before, saw a hideous sea serpent a
short distance from their boats. Ac
cording to the story told by the crew,
"the serpent was fully 90 to 100 feet
long and 80 feet wide, and we did
not see its entire length." They
also say that "there were two blow
holes about 9 feet long and 2 feet
wide about 20fcet from the head of
lus nose. I he body was black, the
head short, and near the nose were
two stubby honiH."
Captain Green adds that the ser
pent was also seen from the station,
making its, appearance on tho surface
at intervals of ten minutes. He
oscc Ins report with a rctnatk that
.his is the truth."
